I also wonder why people think Guiliani was some sort of heroic figure during the 9/11 attack. All I saw him do was walk around the streets of NYC after the attack. He certainly couldn't stop the buildings from collapsing. I will credit him with boosting morale and taking charge in the chaos of the moment.
As for cleaning up afterwards, if I remember correctly Guiliani had to leave office that year. Guiliani even "offered" to extend his term in office past its legal end since he thought he was the only one who could deal properly with all the trouble.
....thanks for the correction...I did not know he inherited that much to make up 500 million.....
Their together somehow.

BTW, Macquarie Infrastructure is a subsidiary of Macquarie Bank.
This is peanuts compared to the Spanish Bank buying Compass Bank two weeks ago. Some sources were reporting BBVA bought Compass to cash in on the US-Mex wire transfer money.
Others are saying that Cintra was going to be making so much miney off of toll roads in the US, they needed a Spanish bank to keep all the money in.
Dum de dum dum.
True.

Former New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani has agreed to sell his boutique investment bank to Australian financial group Macquarie Group, it was confirmed today, in an effort to boost his campaign for the 2008 US presidential election.
The investment bank, Giuliani Capital Advisors, has about 105 employees in major cities including Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. It is a unit of the former mayor's consulting firm Giuliani Partners, which employs about 50 people.
(snip)
Press reports in January had said the bank had been put up for sale to prevent its clients' activities from being used against Giuliani in the presidential campaign.
What part of planet moron...steady...Upon what basis do you make an allegation that the sale of Mr. Giuliani's company must involve, to use your term, 'crooked' dealings?
And what do you mean by, "he would sell our souls to the devil"?
Just asking.
Tis early this AM. Forgot the nane of the Spanish bank that bought Texas State Bank, a biggie on the border, but it is the same Spanish b ank that bought
Compass.
Read the above article that calcowgirl posted for your answer.

There is not a dimes worth of difference between the dealings of Hillary and Giulani. Both have knowledge of insider trading or news. How many plain John Does made $90 million in a 3 year investment?
Really, there are some very "meow" type comments here, aren't there?
Good question. Hmm.
